Specitcation forming part oi' Letters Patent No. 39.623, dated August.25, 1863, antcdated Y November 18, 1862. i

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, FRANCIS ARNOLD, ot

Connecticut, have invented certain new. and uset'ul Improvements inWringine or Squeezing Machines; and I do hereby declare that the same isdescribed and represented in the fillowing specification and drawings,and to enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, I willproceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to thedrawings, in which the same letters indicate This improvement inelotheswringers or squeezers consists principally in arranging the rollers,with their frame-work, upon'a t socket,wl1ich holdsand allows them therollers and frame) to turn back and forth upon a studpin, secured in aproper manner to a bench or tub, and in providing on each end ot' thefulcrnnrplate thumb-latches andstops, so that when the rollerfralne isvturned in either direction .into a position parallel with thesocketplate the projection formed on the lower end ot' one of the sidesof the roller frame-work will pass under the end ofthe thumb latches,lifting the ends next to the Stoppers and allow them to dropdown Justback 'of isaid projection, thus holding the frame work in place until itis desirable to Areverse the posit-ion of the rollers, which is done bydepressing the outer end of the thumb-latch that holds the securing itinthe same manner as before.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is to a bench. Fig. 2 is a topView showing the bedplatchavin g the thumb-latches, stops, and stud-pinssecured to a tub.

' ldescribed. a

In testimony whereot I have hereunto set cured the bed-plate b, on whichare arranged the Vstud pin c, the thumb-latch d, and the stops e. 'lhestops e are east. or made on the. bed-plate with an opening toreceivethe projection-arm f, formed on the lower end of one ot' thesides ot the roller framework n. .lhe latches d are secured upon studsg, haring fulcru1n-bearings Il, so that by bearing' down on the outerendthe rollers or-the framework may be reversed, and the thumb latches dare so shaped on the under side that the projection-ar1n f, in moving orvibrating to its place against the stop e, willA belit'ted and allowedto dropjnstv back ot' and hold the armf with its frame n in thedesiredposition.

i is'the socket-plate or girt which holds the lower portion ot' theroller frame-Work to- 'gethento whichl issecnred on the under side thesocket j, which is fitted and turns upon the stud-pin c. The plate `ismade inclined or'at an angle with the socket j t'or the purpose ot'securing a cant-board, l, to discharge the water freely back into thetub.

l believe I have described the construction and operation ot' myimprovement, and so as to enable a person skilled to make the same,

and that its advantage will beobvious therefrom.

What I claim, therefore, and desire to secure by'Letters Patent, is-

The vibratory roller-frame n, with proper tasteningsV for holding it inplace, subst-antially in the manner -my hand and seal this 9th day ot'April, 1862.
